Tracklisting
Side A: Kayo Dot – 1. Dont Touch Dead Animals
Side B: Bloody Panda – 1. Fever / 2. Circle and Tail
Boston’s Kayo Dot, with albums on Tzadik and Robotic Empire, cover a vast and mostly indefinable ground, with everything from orchestrated epic jazz to noise and doom thrown into the mix. Their 11 minute track was recorded for, and is excusive to, this release. New York’s Bloody Panda contribute two tracks (19 minutes) that combine funeral sludge with female chanting and Eastern influences to create something utterly menacing but at the same time completely enthralling. Comes on marbled vinyl in a gatefold sleeve, with incredible artwork by Toby Driver of Kayo Dot.
Fucking awesome. Rock Sound 8/10
...it’s only the journey that matters, and although here it’s a frightening one, littered with dead ends and periods of jet-black darkness, it’s a journey you will want to take again and again. Drowned In Sound 8/10

Quite simply put – Genius. Rock A Rolla
This is heavy, down-tuned and nasty, with feeling, and if listened to loud can be powerful stuff. ZapBangMagazine.com 4/5
